Tire Recommendations

[Brandon Key]

I’m looking to buy my first set of new tires for my K1200LT.  Does anyone have any recommendations for a newbie rider?  I appreciate all comments!

Hello Brandon,

There are two tires that stand out as widely used by motor officers and a wide variety of riders on bigger bikes.  Michelin Road 6 and Dunlop Roadsmart 3.  Both are good touring tires but are grippy and are top notch in the rain.  I often see the Michelin’s on liter sport bikes where riders want more mileage and wet weather performance without loosing much performance.

Hi Sergio,

Thanks for the response.  Yes, I have been looking at both of those. Glad to know I was looking in the right place!
